I'm mom to a 22 year old daughter, Caitlin, and 21 year old son, Ben; wife to my wonderful husband of 24 years, Brian; and all-purpose pet caregiver to Kate the neurotic dog, Lucy the psycho puppy and Muffin the socially inept cat.
I'm a 40-something registered nurse that works PRN in the outpatient department and on the inpatient floor of our local hospital. My husband is a family practice physician in town. We have recently entered the "Empty Nest" phase of our lives together. It's been an interesting, challenging, and tearful year (definately more tears from me)but a time of reflection, thankfulness, and gratitude.
*** My daughters' giggle
*** My sons' smile
*** My husbands' hugs
*** A sandy beach with the ocean waves at my feet
*** Starbucks skinny vanilla lattes
*** A great quilt pattern and hours stretched in front of me to sew
*** A large glass of white zinfandel
*** Sitting outside my camper in front of a warm campfire
*** Singing a Rascal Flatts song with no one listening
*** My dog Kate nuzzling up next to me for attention
*** The feeling of pride I get when I look at my kids
*** Knowing I always have someone to come home to
